Crisp to the Padres, Buckholtz/C Headley to the MArlins and Cabrera to the Sox...win, win, win....

Who want's Crisp? If they do the Red Sox won't get much for him

You lose if you get rid of BUCKHOLTZ

you lose if you can't spell your favorite team's best pitching prospect's last name wrong.

*can't spell it right. my bad.

The Sox gave up a lot to get Coco (Marte, Shoppach, and someone else). But he was coming off a .300 season, so I have no idea what his value is now. He's definitely a starter somewhere. I'd like to see the Sox get a bullpen arm and a catching prospect for him, with the latter being of most importance.

Send him to the Braves. They could use some team speed!

Woo....Damon for Crede....I like that. I like that alot.

Coco is a pretty good player. Just has no power. But he's fast and plays some great defense.

Cocoa has value, who knew?

Someone wrote yesterday on cnnsi.com about Coco for Chris Carter (1B of the White Sox). I know I don't like that move.

That move makes no sense at all. How many first baseman do the Sox need?

I think you're going to see Crisp and at least two top starter prospects for Santana. That would help both the Twins and the Sox a great deal.

It would guarantee Boston a minimum of 100 wins and by far the best post season rotation.

Exactly. They have a young, gold-glove first basemen. And Eric Hinske is a solid bench player. That trade is a terrible idea. It was in some "5 trades that need to happen" article.

'I think you're going to see Crisp and at least two top starter prospects for Santana. That would help both the Twins and the Sox a great deal.'

No, it wouldn't Twins are WAY deep at starting pitching in their system...they need power at the 3B, LF and DH position...getting Crisp doesn't help, neither does getting EVEN MORE pitching prospects...

Can you think of a better way to control the trade market for years to come than to have a stable of great young starting pitchers? They can raid postition player from other teams at will.

Crisp fills an immediate need in center field.

There aren't gonna trade Santana for a light hitting CF and even more pitching...

Their needs are obvious and they have no power in their farm system...all pitching and light hitting players...

They've always had pitching and never controlled the trade market...their two best trades in the last 5 years are when the ytraded a catcher and a OF...

Okay, why would you want to make Johnny Damon your centerfielder? He cannot play there anymore...

I guess we'll see if the Rangers somehow acquire him, but I think it's a longshot at best.

Well with the void left by Hunter in CF, I can see them wanting Crisp, but Jim L's right. With Scott Baker, Garza, and Liriano, they don't really need any more young starting pitching.

It's too bad Coco's on the market in a year where there's a lot of good CFs out on the free agent market.

the twins would be smart to pony up for aaron rowand before anyone else looks at him. they'd love him there, great glove and hustle, decent bat. great price compared to hunter and jones.

trade santana for a ransom, they'll get it.
